The timeless allure of Andalucía is a sensory experience. Marvel at blue sky that stretches over the Mediterranean. Feel the cool shade of cobbled lanes that twist amid whitewashed Moorish hill towns. Hear the rapid click of castanets and the flip of a Flamenco dancer’s frilled skirt. Your base from which to explore this storied land is the town of Marbella, a renowned resort nestled on the shores of the Mediterranean. See its many landmarks, and immerse yourself in deluxe coastal living at nearby Puerto Banús. Admire the walled town of Ronda, one of Spain’s famous “white towns,” and journey to Morocco to explore Tetouan, a city with a distinct Andalucían influence. Marvel at the Alhambra in Granada and the art and architecture of Málaga. Join us on this exciting program that showcases the best of this celebrated region!
